儿童肥胖流行已成为许多国家的一个重要公共卫生问题。肥胖儿童很可能成为肥胖成年人，而成人肥胖与发病风险增加相关。因此，控制儿童肥胖流行已成为全球公共卫生的首要任务。当前的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行可能会严重阻碍这一重要使命，并在全球对抗儿童肥胖的斗争中构成前所未有的悲剧。本手稿提供的证据表明，COVID-19 大流行将通过创造前所未有的致胖环境，加剧儿童肥胖流行，并导致学童体重显着增加。在过去的几个月里，许多国家采取了毫不妥协的措施来应对 COVID-19 大流行，包括关闭学校和隔离。虽然这些步骤对于确保感染控制通常是必要的，但它们可能对儿童的身心健康产生重大负面影响。在这种特殊情况下，促进儿童肥胖的身体、营养和社会心理因素相互补充，形成了前所未有的肥胖环境。大规模隔离和居家隔离会给儿童带来新的、陌生的压力，从而加剧儿童肥胖的流行。最重要的是，预计未来几个月家庭暴力会增加，从而导致不良儿童事件，这将极大地加剧这种担忧。本次审查中提出的情景对于公共卫生至关重要，在未来的大流行规划中必须予以考虑。包括政府、学校和家庭在内的相关利益攸关方必须尽一切努力尽量减少 COVID-19 流行病对儿童肥胖的影响。
The childhood obesity pandemic has emerged as an important public health problem in many countries. Obese children are likely to become obese adults, and adult obesity is associated with an increased risk of morbidity. Therefore, controlling the childhood obesity epidemic has become a top public health priority worldwide. The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may significantly impede this important mission and constitute an unprecedented tragedy in the global battle against childhood obesity. This manuscript presents evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic will aggravate the childhood obesity epidemic and lead to significant weight gain in school children by creating an unprecedented obesogenic environment. Within the last few months, many countries took uncompromising measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including school closures and quarantine. While these steps are often necessary to ensure infection control, they may have a significant negative effect on children's mental and physical health. Physical, nutritional, and psychosocial factors that promote obesity in children during this special situation complementarily contribute to an unprecedented obesogenic environment. Large-scale quarantine and home confinement will impose new and unfamiliar stressors on children, thereby worsening the childhood obesity epidemic. Most importantly, adverse childhood events resulting from a predicted increase in domestic violence within the next few months will significantly contribute to this concern. The scenario presented in this review is of paramount public health importance and must be considered during future pandemic planning. Involved stakeholders, including governments, schools, and families, must make all possible efforts to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on childhood obesity.
